How to post a fill?

[linzeigh.livejournal.com]

Despite being 20, I am essentially new to important internet things such as livejournal. And posting fills on lj. How do I do that..?

Re: How to post a fill?

[firstclass-anon.livejournal.com]

Simply reply to the prompt you're writing a fill for. Include the title of your fill (if you have one) and any appropriate warnings. If it's a multiple comment fill and/or a work in progress, you can number each comment to keep things organized (i.e. TITLE, warnings: non-con, 1/?). Let us know if you need further help!

The link to the delicious on the Fills post doesn't work. Possibly an HTML problem?

Also thank you so much for this comm. It's pretty fantastic and you're doing a lovely job.

[iambickilometer.livejournal.com]

Ooh, whoops, I'll get on that.

Thank you! I've had a pretty great time of it so far, and everyone involved has been super helpful and understanding of my mistakes.

[almightyspaz.livejournal.com]

I have a quick question. Eventually you'll close rounds, but say I want to fill a prompt. Can I post it on my own LJ page and then link back to this on the fill page?

[iambickilometer.livejournal.com]

Well, when a round is closed it just means you can't post any more prompts, you can still fill them. If there LJ comment limit has been reached, then what I'd rather you do is re-post the prompt to the most recent round and then post the fill to that.

[cthonical.livejournal.com]

I noticed there's no cut-off point listed for the round... at how many comments will you be closing them?

Also, would it perhaps be possible to have a standard for character names listed in the prompt posts for ease of browsing/delicious archiving/etc? For eg. real names as opposed to aliases, listed alphabetically in the header?

Thanks. :)

[firstclass-anon.livejournal.com]

We haven't discussed a cut-off point but we'll let the community know ASAP.

And we'll be adding more (including standard character names) to the prompt posts themselves as soon as we finalize the rules.

Affiliate request

[originalsin-mod.livejournal.com]

Would you like to affiliate with xmen_kink? It does have a First Class post but is also for all other incarnations and Marvel universe crossovers.

Also you may like to affiliate with rarerpfkink - at this point FC RPF is still rare ;)

Re: Affiliate request

[iambickilometer.livejournal.com]

Sorry I took so long to respond! Yes, we'll affiliate with xmen_kink. I'm not sure about rarerpfkink though -- let me get back to you on that. It's just a question of relevance, and I'm not sure, so I want to talk to the other mods.

Just a suggestion...

[(Anonymous)]

I just think it'd be really cool if maybe you changed the layout from the standard LJ layout or enlisted the help of someone that's good with graphics to create a a header for the comm. Sometimes the look of a page can really draw people in.

But that's just a suggestion, really. I've been enjoying my time here so much and I think you're doing a fabulous job. :D

[mooyoo.livejournal.com]

Mods, I love you. I love this meme and its friendly atmosphere. I love the people posting here.

You know who else I love? Wolverine and Cyclops and Iceman and Rogue and Gambit and Storm and Jubilee and others.

This is an X-Men: First Class meme, so I'll totally understand if characters/pairings requested on this meme should be limited to those who appeared in the movie, but since you don't have a rules post up yet and I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else, I wanted to ask how you felt about requesting characters from other X-Men canons.

[iambickilometer.livejournal.com]

While this is a movie-verse kink meme, I see absolutely no problem with lifting people and plots from the comics -- I'd say keep it related to the First Class characters or universe, but beyond that, have at! Thanks for asking, though.

And we're glad you love us! We love you, too.

[(Anonymous)]

The new layout is cool but there is no way to get to the profile page from it.

[(Anonymous)]

You can click on the little community icon located at the top of the LJ header (where it says "You are viewing the community xmen_firstkink"). Or scroll down a little bit (once) and you'll see the header that says recent entries, archive, friends, user info pop up.

WIP Fill

[lady-insanity.livejournal.com]

If we're working on a fill and are posting it as we are going along, should we post links to it on the Fill page, or wait until we're done to link it?

Re: WIP Fill

[firstclass-anon.livejournal.com]

You can post WIP fills to the fill list. I suggest you make a note that it's still a WIP as a courtesy to readers and that you go back and make a note (by replying to your own comment or editing it) when it's finished.

Friending meme thingie?

[(Anonymous)]

Yes/No?

Totally understand if it's no, just thought about it.

Re: Friending meme thingie?

[iambickilometer.livejournal.com]

Could be fun! We'll get it set up -- if the meme keeps expanding like it has, we'll probably post it at the same time as Round Two or something. Thanks for the suggestion!

[(Anonymous)]

Hi!

It would be really awesome if you could link to the delicious account in the prompt post as well (maybe at the bottom where the other shortcuts are?) :)

Delicious

forgot the title *facepalm*

Heading Mistake

[(Anonymous)]

Hey, sorry to bother you, but I accidently posted "Seventeen Forever 2B" as Seventeen Forever 2A again. could you delete that for me so I can repost it with the proper heading please?

Re: Heading Mistake

[iambickilometer.livejournal.com]

I can definitely do that, but could I get a link to the post in question? I woke up to 48 pages of comments. If possible, I'd prefer not to wade through them all. :)

Prompt mistake deletion, please?

[(Anonymous)]

Mod, I messed up on a couple of my prompts and I request deletion since I reposted them! o7

http://xmen-firstkink.livejournal.com/397.html?thread=338573#t338573 | http://xmen-firstkink.livejournal.com/397.html?thread=304269#t304269

Also, one of my prompts last night got screened automatically due to URL linking... orz

[(Anonymous)]

Can we fill our own prompts? I got bit by a bug after I prompted. If not, that's totally fine! Just thought I'd check.

Thank you for the wonderful kink meme! :-)

[firstclass-anon.livejournal.com]

Yes, of course, that'd be great! :D

(And you are very welcome.)

[(Anonymous)]

Is it okay to reprompt from the other meme? I just realised that the other mod has a few policies I'm less than cool with.

[firstclass-anon.livejournal.com]

Yes, of course!

[(Anonymous)]

Why are some comments being screened, randomly?

[firstclass-anon.livejournal.com]

LJ has implemented a couple of policies to slow damn spammers; as a result, some anonymous comments that contain outside links are screened. We've opted out of those, but it's still been an issue.

I looked back about 10 pages and didn't see any screened comments, but if you have a link to your comment, we'll unscreen it.

AFFILIATE REQUEST

[chosenfire28.livejournal.com]

Affiliate with xmenbigbang and on June 24th (the day sign ups open) could you post a promotion for it to the community?

A big bang community is where authors will have 3 months to write a complete 15,000 word or more X-Men fic, then those stories are claimed by artists to make customized art off of.

Re: AFFILIATE REQUEST

[iambickilometer.livejournal.com]

We'll affiliate, but let me consult with the other mods before we do any promoting. I don't really like the idea of using posts here for promotions.

(However, on a non-official note, I am so very in)

[subarashiine.livejournal.com]

Hiya! Would you like to affiliate with oldfriends?

[iambickilometer.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sure thing!

AFFILIATE REQUEST

[flareonfury.livejournal.com]

Affiliate with uc_xmen charles_raven scottandrogue scottandkitty alex_lorna rogue_lance cyclops_siryn angel_husk angel_and_rogue xmenglee sv_xm xm_hp spn_xm xmen_f4 xmen_heroes peter_rogue xmen15 xmen100 xovers20in20 xoverland galorechallenge?

Re: AFFILIATE REQUEST

[iambickilometer.livejournal.com]

Let me talk to the other mods, but I think we'll probably stick to communities that have more than just X-Men relevance to First Class. By which I mean charles_raven is a go, but peter_rogue probably isn't. Feel free to recommend any of these communities in comment threads, though.

[(Anonymous)]

I've asked in the fill post, which I forgot to mark as a WiP, dammit, will go back and reply to myself. But could you possibly delete the borked html-containing three posts above (I cropped it differently to repost too)

The comments that could do with deleting are here :

Many thanks, and sorry for being hopeless

Hate speech

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know how this person found our meme, but please delete the third comment on this thread: http://xmen-firstkink.livejournal.com/397.html?thread=117645#t117645

Re: Hate speech

[(Anonymous)]

Ah, it's been deleted. =) Thank you, mods.

Delicious not being updated?

[(Anonymous)]

Is something up with the Delicious account? It looks like it hasn't been updated since the 18th. Or do you guys need another hand with it? (Or am I just missing updates somehow?)

Re: Delicious not being updated?

[firstclass-anon.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I'll take a poke around and see what's up. Thanks for bringing this up!

Please delete these. I forgot the warnings.
